Letter of Father Cardozo to the Silent Priests

  • Dear colleagues,

    In your letters, you say that you expect to something bad to happen before acting ... What serious thing are you waiting for? ... That they make you say the new mass with a woman acolyte who distributes communion in the hand, as some Fathers of Campos do already? Once we accept an error, what is the standard for not to make the next mistake? What is the limit? We saw the fall of "hard" priests who one day became absolute modernist, and have spent writings against Catholic orthodoxy ... What ensures you that there will be a return to sound principles of Catholic Tradition we have received from our founder Archbishop Lefebvre? Is the letter of Bishop Fellay to three bishops, the expulsion of Bishop Williamson, lies and permanent ambiguity of your superiors were not serious enough?

    I think many are deceived and deceiving souls entrusted to them by God, saying that the Fraternity remains the same, that the agreement has not been signed, etc.. How can it be the same from the moment the SG Bishop Fellay responded to three bishops in May of this year by minimizing the errors of Vatican II, praised Benedict XVI as if he were a faithful instrument of Christ, insisting that we must enter [ed: dar el paso in Spanish] in the official Church "? ... If we are in the Church of Christ why enter "[dar el paso] a conciliar church which, in principle, we never wanted to belong? Or have you also thought that we were outside the Church? ... This can be only that to explains your attitude! ... One of you told me that we should apply the rule of St. Ignatius, "no change in the time of tribulation" ... exactly! Why change Fraternity? [note: Father means that the Fraternity of Bishop Fellay is not the same as the Fraternity of Archbishop Lefebvre and the priests therefore should not change Fraternity] We must stay Catholics! ... We are members of the Fraternity founded by Archbishop Lefebvre, which has nothing to do with the sect that occupies our priories, our schools, chapels and seminars. Would it not be clear enough that the principles of this sect have nothing to do with the Society of St. Pius X and his fight against modernism? How can you criticize Vatican II now, when your Leader says it "is not a super-heresy" How are you going to say something against the beatification, for example, of Paul VI, when your leader say that Benedict XVI is a person of "integrity"? ... Where do you see the four notes of the Church of Christ in the conciliar church to which your leaders are committed to drag you in?

    Your silence is already scandalous. Priests outside the Fraternity reacted, the faithfuls who demands to hear the truth raise their voices and the only response is silence or complaint within four walls ... Is it not cowardice? ... Is it not complicity? Or omission? ... Do your silence protects the modernist mistakes of your leaders? ... And your anti-modernist oath, what became of it? ... Or is it that there is no death, judgment, or hell to you?

    These days, I read the following:
    Who are those who follow the path of hell?
    It is mainly men who abuse their authority in any field, who are dragging their subordinates to evil, either by violence or by deception. They will be judged very harshly. real Satans of this earth, it is to them that are addressed these terrible words of the Scripture: "Oh, Lucifer, how did you fall from heaven"
    Bishop de Segur, hell, chap. III.

    Because of the silence, we are in this situation! I pray to God that you leave your silence and speak against so much disorder and apostasy. False prudence hides the cowardice and lack of faith, silence only benefits the enemy.

    P. E.J.J. Cardozo

  • Thank you posting this, Louis.
    I notice that the blog is in French language.
    Was the letter originally in Spanish?
    Whence the translation into English?

  • Hello Nadir,

    Has I know, the original letter was in Spanish. It was translated in French on In Domino Speravi blog. I translated into English rapidly, so the grammar maybe not quite right. I looked on the internet and didn't find the letter in English. I thought people on Cathinfo would be interested to read Father Cardozo's letter.

  • Thank you Louis.

    It is necessary to hear the voice of true shepherds...and in warning us also to beware of the false silence -the deadly sins of OMISSION.

  • Yes Machabees, I agree with you ... the true sheppards don't wait in silence ...

    “Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and, indeed, to neglect to confound evil men—when we can do it—is no less a sin than to encourage them.”

    Saint Felix III, Pope (483-492)

     :applause: :applause: :applause:

    What a contrast in comparison with a recent statement that "They (priests of the SSPX) have a right to stay..."


    May God and His Most Blessed Mother bless Fr. Cardozo and enlighten the Good Bishop to be succinct, bold and courageous as the good Priest, Most Reverend Fr. Cardozo!

    ____

    For those who have heard the Conferences in Toronto I would add:

    With all due respect, while we --the SSPX-- have many priests and bishop(s) with "good engines and bad clutch", saying that 'they have a right to stay' within the neo-SSPX will not help them to fix their bad clutches, as a matter of fact it might just show us/them somebody else is up for a check up on their own clutch...

    Kyrie Eleison!
